Hi All,

Thanks for joining the call today, below you may find my notes.

Upcoming conference info:

netdev - Japan - early October
Alexei, Daniel B, Jesper voiced their ack that they would attend

Plumbers - Santa Fe - early November
https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2016/ocw/events/LPC2016/tracks/573
Alexei - to submit talk on BPF+LSM
Brenden - to submit talk on llvm rewrite

cgroups patch status:
v4
 establishes a model for how bpf to be attached to cgroup
 nice basis for later lsm work
 - no controversial issues came up on list
 - where to put egress hooks?
 - for security, would need no-new-priv type of flag, which children
   cannot overwrite
 - current model would eventually work for instance for Sargun's use
   case

llvm ir rewrite concept
 - backend has lost information for some types of checks
  - often as difficult as in-kernel verifier
  - meaning earlier llvm pass would be useful
 - serves as learning exercise to add features like better debug
 - con: passes cannot return as clean an error message as rewriter
 - more likely to be upstreamable, plugin module
 - ai: will continue effort, medium priority research project

note:
python core team talking about adding usdt probes, cool!
